The election OF a colonel for the militia
of Montana should be attended with that
consideration which is due to the Territor.
ial interests. A man should be chosen
whose interests are identical with the Terri
tory. No man should be selected for this
important position who is not identified
with the Territorial interests in every
essential particular.

A note to the editor of The MINER from
Mr.. Frank Kinney assures us that he will
be in Butte for a wrestling match on the
18th or 10Th, sure. We trust that at that
time a match will be arranged that will
mean something more than mere wind.
We are weary of talk about wrestling.

AZ TO THAT EXTRAORDINARY
SESSION.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Inter
Mountain, is working itself up into a frame
OF mind over The MINERS opposition to
calling together in extraordinary session
the self-same Legislative blunderers who
perpetrated the statutory mistakes OF the
last session.. And in it's wisdom it quotes
an editorial expression OF The MINER made
on May 23d. to the effect that an extra SEES
sion could not muddle matters worse than
they are now, and that the proposed extra
session could not possibly leave the laws oil
the Territory in worse shape than they are
now. Now. the TACT is that we still hold to
the same opinion. But the question is
why we should go to the ex-
pense of calling these Legis-
lative %blunderers together to revise their
own mistakes. What have we to hope OF
them but that they will make more grew
Gus mistakes? Certainly nothing. Their
whole record has been a series OF biunders.
The incorporation act. The ground squirrel
bounty and other like measures establish
the fact beyond controversy. Through
the blind laundering of the last Legislative
session the Territori al treasury is to-day
Invested OF any funds and warrants are
being issued for all OF the OBJ
li1ations which Montana owes.
II there vas any emergency, arising since
the last session, calling for a special ses-
sion, we would not put in a protest. But
there is not. Every material matter which
can possibly come before the special ses'
sion is in the nature of something to cor
rect the errors of the regular session, and
we insist that the members are pot capable
to perform the duties devolving upon them.
They have proved this beyond a question
bv their " works. So it is that we hold,
in view of the act that the TerritorialTr Treas
ury has been depleted through their ill-ad'
vised action, that it would be money worse
than wasted toward warrants in their be-
halt. We can understand why an es.
teemed evening contemporary should
stand by the call OF Gov. Leslie for a
special session. And we can also under
stand why our esteemed morning contem-
porary, the Helena Independent, should
favor the project but we are not inclined
give either OF u esteemed contempo-
raries away; their s%elfshness is subject to
the consideration due to the qualification
OF we'll defined sordid motive.
-
And in discussing the extraordinary ses-
sion business, and the ground squirrel bou''-
ty bill, we are constrained to give the full text
a letter from the West Gallatin. the Gar
den Spot OF Montana, wherein our cor
respondent is induced to inveigh
against the executive action in
the matter OF the call. His at
at holding a conference with our
alien Governor were abortive.. The Gov
has no time to confer with constitu-
ents who cannot grow blue grass in their
back yards without going through the for
ofirreeation.

Lrnshlnps for Six Months.
IChicago Tribune.l


Since the LIST Of January the number OF
scoundrels lynched in various parts Of the
country is 90, Of whom 90 were males and
females, So white and Al colored. The south
takes more than three-fourths Of the lot,
having Is, against - credited to the north.
In detail the states are represented as FOL
lows: Alabama, 5; Arkansas, /; Florida, q.
Georgia, 2; Iowa. 5; Kansas, 3; Kentucky.
8; Maryland, i; Mississippi 8; Missouri. O.
North Carolina, 2; Nebraska, 2; Ohio, s.
Oregon .: Tennessee, e fexaS, 81; Viz
ginia, 9; West Virginia, . In the terrific
ries: New Mexico, 2; Indian territory, q;
Dakota, I; Montana, s.; Washington, 1.
Il may also be Of interest to know that Of
those % departed citizens, A were lynched
for murder, 81 for horse and other stealing,
Il for rape, 8 for incendiarism, 2 for train
wrocking, for murderous assault, for un
known reasons, and for burglary.
These returns, it will co observed, are foI
six months, and their significance will be
apparent when it is stated that the number
OF lynchinSs last year was 1913, which was an
increase OF nearly 100 over 1883 The num-
Der Of lynchingS thus far in this year has
steadily increased, month by month, so thai
at this ratio the total for this year will con
siderably exceed 250. Hanging does not
keep anything like an even pace with lynch.
ing, though the volume OF crime for the first
SIX months Of this year is far in excess Of
what Is was last year during the sams
period Last year there were 1S3 criminals
hanged, but this year thus far there have
been but forty-two. At this ratio the num-
Der Of executions will be much smaller than
in any YEAR since 1878
Texas takes the lead in lynchings, as il
does in crime. Take it all around. it is an
unhealthy year for criminals The legal
hangman may not keep pace with them.
owing TO the obstacles which stand in his
way, but Judge Lynch is doing well in his
efforts to keep up something like due re.
iation between crime and its punishment
